Titre : Coordination number of the packing of ternary mixtures of spheres : DEM simulations versus measurements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : L. Y. Yi, Auteur ; K. J. Dong, Auteur ; R. P. Zou, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 8773-8785 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ternary mixture Résumé : Coordination number is an important microscopic parameter in describing the packing of particles. However, little information is available for particle mixtures because of the difficulty of investigating them experimentally. This article presents a numerical study on the coordination numbers of a ternary packing system with size ratios of 24.4/11.6/6.4 by means of the discrete element method (DEM). Good agreement between the simulated and measured results was obtained, which confirms, at a particle scale, that DEM is capable of generating reliable results for structural analysis of particle packing. It was also found that the coordination number distribution of each of the cases considered can be described by the so-called Johnson SB function. The distribution parameters of the function were quantified based on the DEM simulation results so that the coordination number distributions corresponding to different contact types in this ternary packing system can be fully described.

Titre : DEM simulation of cake formation in sedimentation and filtration Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : K. J. Dong, Auteur ; R. P. Zou, Auteur ; R.Y. Yang, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 921–930 Note générale : Génie Minier Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Liquid–solid separation Sedimentation Filtration Particle packing Discrete element method Résumé : This paper presents a DEM study of cake formation and growth in sedimentation and filtration processes with constant flow rate or pressure. The liquid flow is assumed to be one-dimensional and the motion of particles is three-dimensional. Various forces are included to determine the motion of particles, including the particle–particle contact forces, the van der Waals force and the particle–fluid interactions such as buoyancy, drag and lift forces. The effects of the material properties of particles and liquid and the operational conditions are examined. The structures of cakes are also analysed and the relationship between cake porosity and interparticle force is quantified. The microscopic analysis demonstrates that these variables affect the process and the cake structures through their effects on the gravity or cohesive force, which competes in controlling the formation of a cake.

Titre : Gas–solid flow and energy dissipation in inclined pneumatic conveying Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : S. B. Kuang, Auteur ; R. P. Zou, Auteur ; R. H. Pan, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 14289–14302 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gas solid Résumé : This article presents a numerical study of inclined pneumatic conveying using the combination of the discrete element model (DEM) for the particles and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the gas. In the numerical model, periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are applied to both gas and particles in the conveying direction for computational efficiency. The validity of the model is first examined by comparing the calculated and measured results in terms of solids flow rate and gas pressure drop during pneumatic conveying with a pipeline inclination angle varying from 0° to 90°. On this basis, the effects of inclination angle, solids flow rate, and gas velocity on gas pressure are quantified. The contributions of different forces including the particle–wall friction force, particle gravitational force, and fluid–wall friction force to the pressure drop are examined. Finally, the energy dissipation as a result of interactions between particles, between particles and wall, between particles and fluid, between fluids, and between fluid and wall is studied in detail. The results show that the energy loss during steady-state inclined pneumatic conveying can mainly be attributed to particle–fluid energy dissipation, gravitational potential energy, particle–wall friction energy dissipation, and fluid–wall viscous energy dissipation. These energy dissipations vary significantly with inclination angle and flow regime. ISSN : 0888-5885 En ligne : http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ie301894d
